NVIDIA Hits $4 Trillion Market Cap as AI Dominance Fuels Historic Rally

Nvidia Corporation has become the first company to reach a $4 trillion market valuation, its shares climbing 2.5% to $162.80 as demand for AI chips continues to drive unprecedented growth. The chipmaker now stands as the world's most valuable public company, surpassing Microsoft and Apple.

The rally reflects Nvidia's near-monopoly in GPU manufacturing for artificial intelligence applications. Its hardware underpins large language models like ChatGPT, positioning the firm as the backbone of the AI infrastructure boom. Despite geopolitical chip restrictions costing billions, revenue growth remains unchecked.

Nvidia's stock has delivered staggering returns—up 1,455% over five years and 22% year-to-date—dwarfing the S&P 500's performance. This milestone cements the company's transformation from graphics card specialist to the central player in the AI revolution.
